Vaping weed

[Anonymous]

I love how these threads bring out the pearl clutchers whose perceptions of cannabis use come from "Reefer Madness" and 1980s-era "Just Say No" propaganda.

Heavy Delta 8 use has been associated with psychosis.

I don't know if that's what he used, but my nephew had a psychotic break from weed use. It was terrifying for his family.

This is the OP. You yourself are bringing outdated perceptions based on what weed was like decades ago, and before vaping and edibles became teens’ preferred methods of using. Please educate yourself so you can understand the current landscape, rather than shutting down parents who are both concerned and, in my case, a professional in behavioral health.

I used that pen because it made less smell. I also take dabs (safer than carts, though looks scary).
If it weren't for the world judging me, I would have just stuck to flower.
You could even buy them a flower vaporizer and say that it's allowed to be used in their room so long as they quit the carts. If you're really just concerned about their health and not scared of normal weed.
Yes weed these days is more potent, but your body gets used to it, I've never done anything crazy on weed or oil and I've smoked it every day for 10 years besides some of my pregnancies. (I had HG and needed it for morning sickness).
It's very unlikely that flower is going to have other drugs in it. People aren't going to waste their hard drugs lacing weed that's already strong.

I don't understand 90% of this post.

Ha. Me neither.

Carts? cart pen? flower? flower vaporizer? weed oil? Lacing weed?

I got a lot to learn...

I’m the OP. I didn’t understand 90% and it didn’t reassure me at all.

The weed of today is supposedly way more problematic than old fashioned week. More likely to be laced and potent.

Please stop with this! Yes, I think that carts are dangerous but they are not laced!

Why? They are buying them on the street, the number of kids going to the emergency room in a state of psychosis is off the charts now. Even the stuff that is legal to buy has an incredibly high potency causing issues.

But hey, let's legalize more drugs and deal with the consequences later after we count the tax revenue.

Correct. No less a source than High Times says unregulated carts bought outside dispensaries are dangerous due to additives. They also point out that even legal carts can be dangerous.

If you don’t understand it, that’s a problem. Flower is the term you use when you use the plant in its natural form, like if you were to grow it at home and harvest it yourself. You can vape that, this is the cleanest and safest way.

Um, this is disturbing on so many levels. You are a parent and still smoking marijuana? Absolutely disturbing!

Disagree.

Not Op but not understanding simply mean we're not Potheads or into drugs. Thanks!

Thank you this gave me a good laugh. How dare I be a mom and smoke weed!
Alcohol has given me way more issues and has been the only drug to negatively effect my parenting. I am a fantastic parent even at only 28 years old. I feel sorry for your children, how judged they are going to feel in life having you as a parent if this is really how you think.

I'm a NP - which posts are you categorizing as "pearl clutchers"? Anyone who thinks this trend is alarming and seeking ways to intervene/discourage it? Or just extreme reactions, which frankly I don't see any of?

I grew up in the 80s going out all the time and NO ONE would ever call me a pearl clutcher. AND... I've worked in schools and with child welfare for decades. This is not some light "oh you're all over-reacting" issue. The chemicals and additives and honestly for some kids the weed itself really can set some up for both health & attention problems in the immediate present, near future, or further into the future in so many cases.

I don't have any single answer, but I definitely find anyone rolling their eyes as if this isn't a legitimate topic to get more info on and ask questions about and feel the need to address with teens is either in denial or not aware of just how many young people this sidetracks in major ways either now or the near future.
